maker 3.01.04 “ERROR: Could not determine if RepBase is installed”

[N0s3n]

In RepeatMasker/4.1.2-p1, they've changed their database filetypes from .embl to .h5. And masker is checking for .embl files before it runs.

Add a check for .h5 files on line 4972 in lib/GI.pm.

4971        $lib .= "Libraries/RepeatMaskerLib.embl";
4972        die "ERROR: Could not determine if RepBase is installed\n" if(! -f $lib);

And please modify the two exact error messages when checking for RepeatMasker on line 4969 and 4972.

I ran into this error today and manually fixed it on my own copy of maker, so this is just a reminder to address this in future releases of maker. Is there a reason maker does not support dfam?

Hi @andrewSharo .

Can you show us how to fix it?

Thanks.

Hi @euduca as far as I can recall, I just followed N0s3n's instructions above
